Comedian Andy Samberg will co-host the Golden Globe Awards with actress Sandra Oh in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
But the comic, who hails from Berkeley, California, is best known for his work with The Lonely Island, the troupe he formed with close friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer.
Samberg described himself as a “superfan” of her work in conversation with Marc Maron in 2013 and said he regularly attended her shows before they met.
The production values of their videos are extraordinarily high, an asset Samberg attributes to Schaffer’s technological prowess, as is the calibre of guest stars appearing in cameos.
